Vengo de tierra le jana
Con mi guitarra en la mano

Tengo notas de carino
Para todos mis hermanos

Go-sa como Go-so yo….amigo
Go-sa como Go-so yo….amigo
Go-sa como Go-so yo….amigo
Go-sa como Go-so yo….amigo

Vengo de tierra le jana
Con mi guitarra en la mano

Vengo de tierra le jana
Con mi guitarra en la mano

Go-sa como Go-so yo….amigo
Go-sa como Go-so yo….amigo
Go-sa como Go-so yo….amigo
Go-sa como Go-so yo….amigo

Al llegar a Puerto Rico…amigo
Me creia que ear rico…
Y al crusar por una sierra…bonco
Visite a Rio Piedra…

El dia que yo me muera…
Yo tengo que hir a la gloria
Porque quise mucho a novia
Entre a la puerta a la iglesia
Y yo me puse a rresar
Para consolar mis penas
Yo vi una linda morena

Like many hit songs, the lyrics to Gitano have different meanings to different people. While it is clear in some of the lyrics what the artist is trying to really say, only Santana and those working with them know all of the meanings behind all of the lyrics to their songs.

Some folks are interested in word and phrase etymology. It is easy to understand the lyrics to Gitano by Santana if you think through it. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Gitano" means the words set to the music of Gitano, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Santana. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Gitano and the lyrics to Gitano are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Santana who came here looking just for the lyrics to Gitano, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
